Well, moderators can give "infractions" which are a way for us to tag a post as being out of line - it also sends a pm to the member telling them so. each infraction has a point (or 3 points if major) when you get over a certain number of points the site limits your access, even more and it automatically bans the member for a period of time - 1 week by default. The mods can adjust this ban if necessary. Not very many infractions have been given since the system was started, but a choice few have gotten some. A very few members have tripped the auto-ban, you pretty much would have to know you are heading for it as you would have to be out of line quite a few times.
HTH
It seems that some members here are heavily involved with other sites and (I speculate) are trying to cause unrest here in the hope that they can get members here to migrate to those sites. We try not to encourage advertisement of rival sites as we rely very much upon the traffic related advertising revenue to help fund the (not inconsiderable) infrastructure costs. Telling people wqe would rather they didnt push other sites often annoys them and they resort to these sorts of tactics (we have seen it a few times before on other parts of the site). Additionally, some members like to swear, post girly pics, be more rowdy etc. TriumphRAT has been built by fostering a calmer, more open, less "macho" environment. From day one we have tried to keep it as "PG13" as possible. IT means that people feel safe to view the site at work and everybody regardless of race gender etc. feel welcome.
To all, if this isn't the sort of board you are looking for then the others are out there, but I would encourage you to still drop by from time to time but please don't try to force us into changing the way we operate it, we firmly believe its served the community well so far
As mods we really do try our best to keep the site the way the members are used to, we aren't always as consistent as you might hope and we dont always catch everything (you try reading every post), but we do try.
As always we are open to constructive feedback.
